Jury finds New Jersey man not guilty in stone company theft case

A Warren County jury has found a man not guilty of stealing from a Pohatcong Township stone company.

Brad Levy, 34, of Wayne, N.J., was acquitted of a charge of third-degree theft after the jury delivered the verdict Tuesday in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere, according to court records.

Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys were immediately available for comment.

Prosecutors had accused Levy of creating the false impression that his name was Joseph Paladino in an attempt to steal property belonging to Bear Aggregates. According to a 2013 indictment, prosecutors alleged Levy stole at least $500 worth of property from the River Road company, a provider of crushed stone.
